Scale Scores (averages), At Goal or Above %s, and District Reference Group rankings are displayed. Also, individual scores for Branford's 3 elementary schools are displayed with comparison to Connecticut's state average scores.

2. An Elementary Addendum
Following the presentation of 3rd-8th
CMTs and the 10th Grade CAPTs is a
brief, but interesting comparison
regarding the 3 elementary schools (K-4)
in Branford. I have provided each
school’s Scale Scores and At Goal or
Above results and compared them to
Connecticut’s average student’s
standardized test performance. The hope
is each school being well above the state
average.

3. Branford’s Seven-Year Standardized
Test Results 2006-2012
• The following slides show Branford, Connecticut’s standardized test scores
for all grades tested (3rd-8th and 10th grades: 4th Generation CMT and
CAPT, respectively).
• This presentation is meant to show Branford’s trends compared to its past
performance and to its similar 23 District Reference Groups (DRGs) as
measured by the state’s 7 primary socioeconomic indicators.
• The display and analyses are simplistic since it is intended for the average
citizen’s information about their school’s performance while also benefiting
those whose interest and concerns might be more analytical.
• While general linear direction can easily be grasped by trend lines, the DRG
rankings add an extra value so often bypassed. Some explanation is
needed: Example—this month our country had almost 100,000 new jobs
created. Sounds great. It was more than last month—an increase. But the
number comparatively to our country’s population needs to be 125,000. So
making a comparison to some standard whether it be a past average or a
similarly judge reference group can help us to make judgments that
otherwise would not be possible. The 23 districts similar to Branford
provide the one and only comparison group we have—we need to use it!

4. How are We Doing?
• There are 24 districts in our District Reference Group (DRG)
• Seven data indicators were used (June 2006) to classify
similar districts into a DRG
• 3 indicators of socioeconomic status
• median family income
• parental education
• parental occupation
• 3 indicators of need (percentage of
• children living in families with a single parent)
• the percentage of public school children eligible to receive free or
• reduced-price meals
• percentage of children whose families speak language other
than English at home
• 1 indicator of student population
• enrollment (the number of students attending schools in that
district)

Math, Reading, and Writing Scale
Scores, At Goal or Above %, and
Rank Order within our 24 District
Reference Group follow in that
order respectively.

78. Notes
• Some Recommendations for Consideration
• The data are displayed without statistical analyses for the viewers
interpretation.
• Suggestions include looking at the scores (scale scores and percentages)
for irregularities—low or high scores/percentages. If it seems high, look at
its rank compared to other districts (Branford’s reference group). A high
magnitude score/percentage with a rank in the top 33% rankings (ordinal
values 1-8) needs little added value. Or that same seemingly high score
could well have a low rank (ordinal values 17-24)—meaning, while we
scored well, others did also or we stayed the same or fell back—so we
might want to be concerned. That also applies to seeming low scores and
their rankings with reverse implications.
• Since time series data suggests a trend, it is also noteworthy to judge
whether the trend is upward, flat, or downward and judge that relative to the
complimentary rankings.
• Lastly, moving averages (2, 4, and 6 year) are simple to calculate and
reveal trends over time or simple regression to the mean as the factors.
Branford data sets have had some unusual extreme lows and direction
changes producing values that seem to require explanation.

79. Elementary Considerations
The following 6 slides display the mean
(average) scale scores and the At Goal
or Above percentages for 3 K-4th grade
schools in the Branford School District.
The charts show some similarities and
some distinct differences in standardized
achievement results. The charts are
somewhat self-explanatory and may
prompt some interested parties to ask
some rather important questions.
